This is what all of the scientist have been fearing. Lets hope this is only a story.

Thats a long way to run to play pin the tail on the donkey.

Give them a try and let us know if they work.

Glad to hear you final got out. How old were the kids? Do you think they are hooked on salmon fishing now? My hats off to you for taking the time and putting down the lure that the one wanted to try. Its an added bonus that you took 2 fish with it. Well done Tim!

SAN FRANCISCO - Barry Bonds stands alone at No. 715. He hit the milestone home run with a two-run shot to center field Sunday, moving past Babe Ruth into sole possession of second place on the career list behind Hank Aaron. Bonds homered off Colorado's Byung-Hyun Kim and in front of his home fans — where he wanted to do it all along — and before the San Francisco Giants headed on a road trip. The ball glanced off a fan's hands about 15 rows up and then dropped onto an elevated platform beyond the fence. The souvenir sat there for a few minutes before rolling off the roof to an unidentified man waiting for a hot dog, and he was quickly ushered away by security. Bonds circled the bases as streamers fell from the upper deck. Now, the list looks like this: Aaron 755. Bonds 715. Ruth 714. Bonds connected at 2:14 p.m. in the fourth inning, then immediately raised his arms and clapped his hands together before beginning his historic trot. Kim became the 421st different pitcher to surrender a home run to the 41-year-old slugger — yet another meaningful drive Kim has given up, having allowed a pair of monstrous World Series homers in 2001. Bonds embraced and kissed his 16-year-old son, bat boy Nikolai, as he crossed home plate, then was greeted by his teammates at the top of the dugout. He took one curtain call in which he tipped his hat and raised both arms and blew a kiss to the crowd. Moments later, he came out again and waved. The homer traveled about 445 feet, and the Giants quickly unfurled two banners from the light towers on either side of the main scoreboard in center field: One of Bonds on the left side and the other of Hammerin' Hank's 755. Bonds, who had walked on five pitches in the first inning, went five games between 714 and 715. He hit 714 on May 20 at Oakland, a span of 17 at-bats and 24 plate appearances. Bonds is still loved at home despite the steroids accusations that surrounds his home run pursuit. This is the first time in nearly 85 years that Ruth hasn't been in the top two on the career home run list, according to David Vincent of the Society for American Baseball Research. He passed Sam Thompson to move into second on June 20, 1921, when he hit his 127th career home run. Bonds has hit most of his other milestone home runs in San Francisco: 500, 600, 700 along with 660 and 661 to tie and pass godfather Willie Mays. In 2001, Bonds hit the final three of his 73 homers at home to break Mark McGwire's single-season record of 70. Aaron passed Ruth in April 1974 — and now Aaron is the only one left for Bonds to chase. This was Bonds' last chance during the six-game homestand before the Giants left town for another week on the road.

I should also mention that I would be looking for BIG kings.

Thats a bird bath

Thanks for the reply Tom. I bet you will get them next time. Mike

There are more fisherman on board now so I will bump this one to the top. What brand and lb test line are you using?

Has anyone started fishing after dark yet? What month does everyone normally start fishing after dark?

Sorry....That would be a fall trip. The month of August or September to be exact.

Good point Levi.

If you could take a trip to Lake Ontario and go fishing, where would you go?

Tom, Thanks for the report. Fishing solo is tough to do. There is nothing more frustrating then having a fish finder full of fish and not being able to pursade any of them to take a bait. I notice on your fish finder that it shows .6mph. Were you in neutral when you took the picture, or are you trolling that slow? Are you allowed to add a slider to your line in New York?

Now then...I would tend to believe that some of the Lake Ontario fish that are 20 + lbs are 4 year old fish.

Nice to hear the baitfish are up there already. Sorry to hear the fishing was not any better. Thanks for the report!

This was in my back yard yesterday morning.

Thanks for the report Wayne! Was you fishing in the 9's?

I have heard from a couple of different people that the perch fishing has been really good. Reports of boats getting 40 - 80 perch. Also heard of one that was 15".

You would not post a picture of your neighbor with arm floaties on would you..... :D

Thanks for the report Joe. I heard the fishing was not red hot out of South Haven yesterday.

Thanks guys....I was wondering because I have heard people say "this is a 2 year old fish" or whatever.

All it takes is one successful trip and they are hooked for life. Great job Rich! So when is he getting a boat

Thanks for the report Terry!

I hope this is true. I have not seen a good perch report from South Haven in a long time.
